The NewsGuild of New York has taken more legal action against Reuters.
The guild filed an unfair labor practices charge against the news organization on Tuesday after management at the news organization threatened journalists and interfered with union actions. The Reuters Guild represents over 300 media workers and has been bargaining for a new contract since their previous one expired at the end of December.
Following Guild members picketing outside, they entered the newsroom and started up a silent march. They were approached by a security guard who ordered them to stop before pulling aside a union officer and claiming the employees were violating the company policy. The legal action is happening because Reuters management violated labor laws by interfering with the march.
